Brooklyn teen charged with killing pet hampster.. Monique Smith, 19, is charged with one felony count of aggravated cruelty to animals for allegedly killing the 4-ounce hamster during a family dispute..
And if convicted, the teen could also face two years in prison..
Perhaps a good punishment, without any flippancy intended, would be for the teen to run in a steel wheel for hours on end, only being supplied water and bread crumbs?
